Grape and Ibrexafungerp Citrate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Ibrexafungerp Citrate

Ibrexafungerp Citrate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Grape interacts with.

It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the situation with grape seed extract and Brexafemme (ibrexafungerp). Your body clears this antifungal using a liver enzyme called CYP3A4, and grape seed extract may nudge that enzyme one way or the other. The catch is that the science is genuinely mixed: lab (test tube) studies hint it might slow the enzyme down, while animal studies suggest it could speed it up. We honestly don't know which wins out, and this hasn't actually been seen in real people.

If it slowed clearance, ibrexafungerp could build up and you might notice more nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea. If it sped clearance up, the medicine might work less well against the yeast infection. Since ibrexafungerp is usually a short course, this is a low concern, but I'd still mention any grape supplement to your pharmacist. Eating grapes is fine.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ibrexafungerp Citrate page

“Ibrexafungerp (Brexafemme) treats vaginal yeast infections, often in a single day of pills, and even that short course can be thrown off by the wrong supplement, so this list warrants real care. Three of the 138 ingredients on file rate major, and they pull in opposite directions.”
